Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hil, I think you should complain to TPTB for the health center. She was essentially calling you a liar and forcing a $40 test on you. Just wrong.

I disagree. The health center has an obligation, and too many people lie or are stupid, and it is their responsiblity to make sure that she wasn't pregnant. I feel you on the wasted $40, though.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

But it has to be specifically the Guinness Marmite, not regular Marmite (b/c we have that here).

At £3, that will not be a problem. They said it went into stores on Monday, so it should be available.

I will not, however, go to Taco Bell, order a 7-layer burrito, shove it into a FedEx envelope, and send it to you.

Dammit, woman, we've had this discussion before! It's just one request!

£3 -- that's about $5,000 American, right? (Seriously, the exchange rate is FUCKED.)

I know, I know. I'm a hater.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The health center has an obligation, and too many people lie or are stupid, and it is their responsiblity to make sure that she wasn't pregnant.

While that is true, out of pocket costs plus the delay of giving the shot would more than irk me--I think they speak of flawed procedure.

VW, to echo what everyone said: parents' worry is pretty much independent of how good or bad their children are. It's in the job description of the good parents.

Add a ziplock freezer baggie plus a FedEx box and it is all good. Or at least less bad.

What would you suggest? I mean, they have to give a test. It was not that they could not have given Hil the shot, I think that she had to go somewhere (am I remembering correctly?)

Mostly lurking...

Can't you pee on a stick for less than $40?

I'm not sure how the charging went, and if making pregnancy tests (because I bet it's the argument with women who haven't had dicksex that makes for the most disgruntlement) a standard part of the procedure would work better.

Punishingly Intricate

(because I bet it's the argument with women who haven't had dicksex that makes for the most disgruntlement)

Reminds me of the very funny conversation a lesbian friend had with medical staff about what kind of birth control she used. They would not accept "I do not have sex with men" as an answer.
